Yes, we know that.  And you'll notice that I didn't say anything about
the many callers of `filter-buffer-substring' or about code that uses
`filter-buffer-substring-functions'.

However, I see now that I was mistaken about `filter-buffer-substring'
using obsolete variable `filter-buffer-substring-functions'.  It uses
the replacement function `filter-buffer-substring-function' (no `s')
instead.

That was my main concern: what was being recommended as a replacement
for `filter-buffer-substring'.  I see now that it is not being made
obsolete by making `filter-buffer-substring-functions' obsolete.
